Emergency response system

Abstract

In some embodiments, a method is provided. The method includes identifying an incident situation based upon a sensor detecting an abnormal condition. One or more life safety systems are queried to obtain life safety system data. One or more databases, comprising equipment information, chemical information, personnel information, and/or emergency response contingency procedures, are queried to obtain on-site information. The life safety system data and the on-site information are integrated together to generate incident situation information. The incident situation information is displayed through an electronic display.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 identifying an incident situation based upon a sensor detecting an abnormal condition;   obtaining life safety system data and on-site information in response to identifying the incident situation;   integrating the life safety system data and the on-site information to generate incident situation information; and   displaying the incident situation information through an electronic display.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein obtaining the life safety system data comprises querying one or more life safety systems to obtain the life safety system data. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein obtaining the on-site information comprises:
 querying one or more databases, comprising at least one of equipment information, chemical information, personnel information, or emergency response contingency procedures, to obtain the on-site information.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 populating the electronic display with video surveillance imagery of a location associated with the incident situation.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 evaluating the incident situation information to identify a location of the incident situation and chemical information of chemicals used at the location.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , comprising:
 populating the electronic display with the chemical information of the chemicals.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 evaluating the incident situation information to identify a location of the incident situation and equipment information of equipment used at the location.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , comprising:
 populating the electronic display with the equipment information of the equipment.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 evaluating the incident situation information to identify a set of emergency response team members having qualifications for performing tasks associated with an incident situation response procedure and task checklist to perform as a response to the incident situation.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , comprising:
 and
 populating the electronic display with recommended task assignments for the set of emergency response team members. 
   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , comprising:
 controlling a messaging system to transmit messages of recommended task assignments for the set of emergency response team members to communication devices of the set of emergency response team members.   
     
     
         12 . A system, comprising:
 a sensor module that identifies an incident situation based upon receiving an indication from a sensor that an abnormal condition has been detected by the sensor;   a life safety system connector that obtains life safety system data;   an electronic card reader system that records personnel information; and   a module that integrates the life safety system data and on-site information to generate incident situation information, wherein the on-site information identifies one or more emergency response team members based upon the personnel information and the incident situation.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , comprising:
 an electronic display through which the incident situation information is displayed.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , comprising:
 a messaging system that transmits a message to a communication device of at least one of the one or more emergency response team members, wherein the message comprises a task assignment for the at least one of the one or more emergency response team members to perform as a response to the incident situation.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the personnel information identifies a last known location of the one or more emergency response team members within a facility. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 13 , comprising:
 a database connector that queries one or more databases, comprising at least one of equipment information, chemical information, personnel information, or emergency response contingency procedures, to obtain the on-site information.   
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions for performing a method, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to:
 identify an incident situation based upon a sensor detecting an abnormal condition;   query one or more life safety systems to obtain life safety system data;   query one or more databases to obtain on-site information;   integrate the life safety system data and the on-site information to generate incident situation information; and   display the incident situation information through an electronic display.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the one or more databases comprises at least one of equipment information, chemical information, personnel information, or emergency response contingency procedures. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the method, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to:
 populate a map, displayed through the electronic display, with a plurality of location representations; and   evaluate the incident situation information to identify a location of the incident situation corresponding to one of the plurality of location representations.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine readable medium of  claim 19 , wherein the method, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to:
 modify a display property of a location representation, of the location, within the map; and   in response to receiving user input with respect to the location representation, displaying a subset of the incident situation information related to the location.
